AI Explanation

The correct answer is D. To explain: 1. The question states that the liquid mud in mud pit #4 has a specific gravity of 2.0. Using this information, we can calculate the weight of the mud in pit #4, which is necessary to determine the total weight of the vessel. 2. The formula for calculating the weight of the liquid mud is: Weight (lbs) = Volume (gallons) x Specific Gravity x 8.33 lbs/gallon. Plugging in the values given, we get: Weight = 5,000 gallons x 2.0 x 8.33 lbs/gallon = 83,300 lbs. 3. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the weight of the mud in pit #4 based on the provided information. 4. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 83,300 lbs.
